Type - Final Result

Today I continued developing my font work. The final outcome of the day was a combination of previous work and ideas refined and narrowed into one final typeset.

When creating my font I wished to keep some assets close to their original source idea. I got the visual inspiration from my initial sketch from punk posters and 'revolution' inspired wall type. This style of type is popular with post-modern work or more rebellious imagery.

I got to certain letters and I jotted down a variety of versions to ensure it looked consistent and linear in a set. The letter B, J and G gave me a particularly difficult time as they are all very unique and stylised letters. Once I had gone through a few minor trial and errors I proceeded to make the rest of the alphahet. I intentionally inked the vowels red as I enjoyed the contrast.

 

After completing the alphabet I then created vectors of each letter in Illustrator. Having digital forms of the letters allows more freedom to what I do with the Typeset I created. I nameds the Typeset Revolt.
